9th February 2015

Cambridge, UK – February 9th 2015 – Research released today by the leading small cell solution specialist,ip.access, shows that UK businesses are losing $49 (£32.75) million a week, with 43 per cent of employees spending an hour or more searching for reliable mobile phone signals to make work-related calls*.

UK office workers are collectively spending 2.53 million hours a week searching for better mobile coverage**, which comes from61 per cent of company employees claiming to have poor or variable mobile reception at their place of work. Even 50 per cent of telecoms professionals responded that the mobile signal in their offices was inadequate.

The research, which surveyed 2,000 UK office workers at junior and senior levels from varying company sizes also revealed that 62 per cent of employees in the finance sector were suffering from poor or variable mobile phone reception and 59 per cent of government or public service professionals face the same problem.

“There is a fundamental issue here for businesses and mobile operators,” said Gavin Ray, SVP Products & Marketing at ip.access. “It is pretty amazing that in an age where we have fridges that can tell you you’re out of milk; we are still faced with the age-old problem of patchy indoor mobile signal. Looking at these numbers it’s clearly the new time-thief for business.

“While companies across the UK are employing the latest technology to streamline processes and boost revenue, a reliable mobile signal has become a basic necessity, and the lack of one is having a detrimental effect on the productivity and flexibility of companies’ workforces. This surely feeds into missed revenue and growth opportunities.
